The latter for me. I remember thinking as a kid that things would just keep getting better. That the best time to be a kid was always the future. Now I'm glad I was a kid when I was and I wish kids today had it better than they do. I'm sure that's at least 50% old guy viewpoint but I really think some lines have been crossed that truly make childhood in the 2020s harder than it used to be.
